Hi, Jim--

NFS is an entirely reasonable choice for filesharing against OS X;

would be a comparitively better choice for MacOS 9 and previous 
versions. People who have laptops or other network roaming 
environments will probably
prefer Samba. [How's that for providing a fair slant on what each 
protocol
is well-suited for? :-)] >
What about the resource fork of the mac files.  Does NFS provide a 
transparent way to preserve the resource fork?
For some definitions of "transparent".  If the client uses the 
AppleDouble format, that wraps the resource fork and works fine 
against a normal NFS server.  Some Mac NFS implementations do that, 
some don't.
Very interesting, thanks! I would like to try this solution. Can you 
give me more info, suggestions, links etc?
